Teaching and Learning STEM - Rebecca Brent - Bog

Praise for TEACHING AND LEARNING STEM, SECOND EDITION "Felder and Brent, longtime leaders in STEM education research, fill an important gap by providing both insightful and very practical guidance for the college instructor trying to translate the findings of STEM research into effective classroom practice."-- CARL WIEMAN, Nobel Laureate in Physics, Department of Physics and Graduate School of Education, Stanford University "The first edition of Teaching and Learning STEM was an extraordinary gift to teachers of STEM at both the secondary and postsecondary levels. The revised second edition adds a very thoughtful, forward-looking, and insightful discussion of uses and misuses of AI in STEM instruction, and pays particular attention to the difference in teaching and learning STEM in high school and at the university level."-- DANIEL J. TEAGUE, Instructor of Mathematics, North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics "Felder and Brent break down the last few decades of advances in STEM education--in-person and online, high school and college--into coherent, useful, and well-organized advice, creating down-to-earth lessons that keep the needs and interests of the STEM educator front and center."-- BRIAN P. COPPOLA, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Chemistry, Associate Chair for Educational Development and Practice, University of Michigan "Felder and Brent deliver a fresh edition of one of the best practical guides to teaching in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. From designing a course to teaching students to assessment, busy instructors will find innovative and straightforward strategies for creating a more learner-centered, research-based teaching environment."-- DR. MARY DEANE SORCINELLI, Professor Emeritus and Founding Director, Center for Teaching and Learning, University of Massachusetts Amherst "This second edition of Teaching and Learning STEM is even better than the first, with more extensive and practical advice on teaching in various modes. The authors have truly created a treasure chest of wisdom and practical strategies for improving learning. It is organized in a way to be accessible to first-time and veteran educators alike, and I have already started applying their ideas in my classroom and my mentoring of new educators!"-- SHERI SHEPPARD, PH.D., Fellow of ASME, ASEE, AAAS, Richard W. Weiland Professor in the School of Engineering, Emerita, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University "Teaching and Learning STEM is not just a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to designing and delivering effective teaching, but a bible for all high school STEM educators! This is the one book that you need to keep within easy reach to gain new perspectives, solve tricky teaching problems, and inspire your students to learn. It will prove to be a constant companion for all those invested in improving their teaching."-- LYDIA KAVANAGH, Deputy Associate Dean Academic, Faculty of Science, and Deputy President, Academic Board, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia "Imagine a book that is like having a welcoming and seasoned faculty colleague just down the hall, ready with engaging stories and sage advice. That is this book."--KIMBERLY D. TANNER, Professor, Department of Biology, San Francisco State University
